I should have explicitly stated the context of my reply, but the guy
has asked the same question already. I read the thread (his first
question) just yesterday and the answers were all there, code snippet,
interesting insights and all.

In the same way that you "think" I am being rude, I "think" I am not
being rude given the situation. Of course, if this was the first time
he asked the question then I'd call myself a royal prick if I say
something like the one quoted below.
